Ahead Of The Curve Lyrics

another perfect day
they keep piling up
i've got happiness that i can't maintain
so beginner's luck
i had shoes to fill
walking barefoot now
can't tell north from south
but no split hair's gonna get me down

i'm staying above the flatline
i'm ahead of the curve
take a piece of the sunshine with me
on a red-eye flight to another world
it isn't any trouble
if you wanna come with me
i know it's out of the question, honey
but i sure could use the company
and a place to be

now the sky's pink
rooftop swimming pool
i'm not carefree, no
i'm free to care
i just never do
all the bags are checked
and the reasons why
yesterday lingers on
that's the piece you keep
when they say goodbye

you can get what you want now
knock it out of the park bury it by the river
easy, there's a search party
but it's getting dark
i won't hold you to nothing
i wanna make that plain
probably end up a stranger and crazy
but i'm still hoping there's another way
and a place to stay

what a scene
it's got you sentimental
when the night comes
when the night comes loose
all the things
you've put upon me now
what a shame
what a shame
it's old news

i'm staying above the flatline
i'm ahead of the curve
take a piece of the sunshine with me
on an all-night drive to another world
you can get what you want now
knock it out of the park
probably end up a drifter and lonely
but i'm still hoping for a change of heart
and a place, a place, a place
to start!
